How can you bounce back from job rejections? How do you approach your video strategy in 2018? This week, I am joined by Jasmine Pak from Buzzfeed. Jasmine is currently a video producer who has worked at entertainment companies like CBS, NBC, Omaze, and Buzzfeed.

In this week’s fireside chat, Jasmine will share why deciding to work in entertainment is her Zero to Infinity moment. She also recounted her viral experience last summer when she shared a LinkedIn post about being rejected from her dream job. Stay until the end of the show to hear Jasmine tackle the Lightning Round. Last but not least, we also launched our Facebook Group Community this week as well!
